How Much Sun is Full Sun?

Just because nasa open area or bakuran ang plants, that doesn't mean full sun na agad sila po :) FYI

TERMS:

DIRECT SUNLIGHT

- diretsong nasisinagan ng sikat ng araw

INDIRECT/BRIGHT LIGHT

- usually reflected light na nanggagaling sa mga dingding (lalo na ang white walls), mirrors, tiles

-maliwanag na area, usually windowsills

FILTERED LIGHT

-light that passes through something that softens the intensity of the light like netting, or a tinted window

DAPPLED SHADE

-areas that receive changing sunlight throughout the day due to the shining of the sun through leaves of trees

SHADE

-in full shadow

*You have to take note of the movement of the sun throughout the day sa garden ninyo. The sun moves and the angle of sunlight also changes. If may walls kayo there will be time when the wall will form an overcast shadow. Count the number of hours na direct ang sikat ng araw. a lot of times, you will be surprised to find out na minsan kulang pa sa 4 hours ang direct sunlight ninyo :)

Also if your CnS are on racks, they would most definitely be covered by shadow after the sun reaches a certain point sa sky. Most likely by afternoon, yung nasa tuktok na lang ang naaarawan at yung iba nasa shade na dahil sa shadow ng racks.

DURATION:

FULL SUN -gets at least 6 hours of DIRECT light. Bright light the rest of the day

PARTIAL SHADE 3-6 hours of DIRECT light from morning to early afternoon sun

PARTIAL SUN 3-5 hours of DIRECT light from the morning sun only, shade in the afternoon

FULL SHADE 1-3 hours of DIRECT sun only, in shadow the rest of the day.
